Osinbajo who said this while delivering a lecture at an event in Abeokuta, Ogun State, stressed that Nigeria will fail completely, if the leaders do not accept and implement what he termed an ethical revolution to bring about the needed change in the country.
The vice president also stressed that the government must lead the ethical revolution by rewarding good ethical behaviours and ensuring speedy punishment for misconduct.
While asking Nigerians to expunge the view that corruption is only synonymous with Nigeria, Osinbajo said no modern society is free of corruption.
He called for elite consensus, asking the political elites, the religious elites and the business elites to agree that the country will fail completely, if they do not accept and implement an ethical revolution.
Osinbajo further called on educational institutions to inculcate the value of honesty, diligence, hard work, respect, trustworthiness discipline and integrity in their students so as to raise youths with the right thinking.
